Review text

For testing a probability distribution on a compact Riemannian manifold for symmetry under the action of a given group of isometries, two classes of invariant tests are proposed and some properties noted. These tests are based on Sobolev norms and generalize \textit{E. Giné's} Sobolev tests of uniformity [ibid. 3, 1243-1266 (1975; Zbl 0322.62058)]. For general compact manifolds randomization tests analogous to \textit{J. A. Wellner's} tests for the two-sample case [ibid. 7, 929-943 (1979; Zbl 0417.62044)] are suggested. For the circle, distribution-free tests of symmetry based on uniform scores are provided.
